Declines in this hormone can be devastating to a man.

In men, testosterone production peaks around age 17 and stays there for more than 10 years. Starting at about age 30, testosterone production begins to slowly decrease. Between ages 40 and 55, it falls off dramatically and this is the beginning of andropause, the male equivalent of menopause.
